Overview of Minecraft 1.21.9 Release Candidate 1
Mojang Studios is excited to announce the release of the first, and potentially only, Release Candidate for Minecraft 1.21.9. This version is designed to be stable, with the aim of preparing players for the full release. If all goes smoothly, no significant changes will be made before the final version hits the players. So gear up and get ready to dive back into the blocky world of Minecraft!
Fixed Bugs in This Release Candidate
In any software development, especially for a game as complex as Minecraft, bug fixing is crucial for a smooth gaming experience. This Release Candidate addresses several issues that arose in previous versions:
- MC-302243 – Creakings can spawn even when the “spawnMonsters” game rule is set to false. This bug affected gameplay, as players expected a peaceful environment.
- MC-302278 – The texture in the middle of conduits appears upside down. This visual inconsistency can confuse players trying to navigate underwater effectively.
Fixing these bugs is part of Mojang Studios’ commitment to providing a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience for all players.
How to Get the Release Candidate
Players interested in testing out the Release Candidate for Minecraft 1.21.9 can easily access it via the Minecraft Launcher. To install the Release Candidate:
- Open your Minecraft Launcher.
- Navigate to the Installations tab.
- Enable snapshots to access the new release candidate version.
It’s important to note that testing versions can sometimes lead to world corruption, so players are advised to back up their worlds or run the snapshots in a different folder from their main worlds.
Cross-Platform Server Jar
The Minecraft server jar for this release candidate is also available, allowing players to test the server functionality. This can lead to an even richer multiplayer experience, where players can enjoy the new features and fixes together.
